…
Getting back to the topic, Jiang Beiyuan looked at Mu Yanzhu solemnly and said something pertinent:
"You are still young and have a long road ahead. Work hard and your future will be great."
Before Mu Yanzhu could reply, Jiang Qingchi took a step forward and hugged her shoulders, smiling silly at Jiang Beiyuan.
"Dad, thank you for agreeing to our marriage. Wife, please thank your father-in-law quickly."
Father-in-law?
Mu Yanzhu couldn't say this now.
Jiang Beiyuan glanced at Yan Nian helplessly, "Your son is just like you."
Yan Nian rolled his eyes: "I'm obviously more like you, but I'm not that shameless."
Jiang Qingchi: "..."
Jiangbeiyuan: "..."
*
Mu Yanzhu left Yan Nian's home at night.
Yan Nian repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, but Mu Yanzhu still declined.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, we left.
Jiang Qingchi went to the station to see her off, hugged her for a long time, and rubbed her hair.
"Didn't you say you want to stay a few more days?"
"Grandma asked me to go back and pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year."
"Then give me a call when you get home."
"Okay, don't worry."
“…”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingchi let go of her and touched Mu Yanzhu's hair.
"How come you suddenly figured it out today and said such firm words to my dad?"
"because of you."
"Oh?" Jiang Qingchi raised his eyebrows.
"I saw a sentence by chance. It said that when two people are together, the one who is loved will be confident. No one is born with a good temper. He will be accommodating to you and treat you well because you are really important."
"Then what?"
"Then I just want to thank you for being nice to me. Since we started dating, I have never asked you what you like, what you hate, where you want to go and where you don't want to go,"
Mu Yanzhu said and hugged Jiang Qingchi.
"Your feelings for me have always been clearly displayed and shown to me generously and thoroughly. However, I am often swallowed up by my inferiority complex and lack of security. I am always used to being protected by you and loved arrogantly by you. , I was hiding in my shell, so cowardly and humble that I didn’t dare to say anything.”
"So, I will work hard to learn from you in the future, like you and tolerate you just like you are good to me, hot and sunny, without thinking, I want to be the one who can stand beside Jiang Qingchi with peace of mind, Mu Yanzhu, let When outsiders take a look, they think you and I are a perfect match."
Jiang Qingchi's eyes gradually became moist.
"This is the first time someone has said this to me. Daughter-in-law, don't make me cry on New Year's Eve."
Mu Yanzhu smiled and let go of him, "Let's go traveling after the new year. Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
"How about the ends of the earth?"
"Hainan, that's good."
"good."
Seeing her enter the station, Jiang Qingchi waved to Mu Yanzhu.
Bye now.
But we'll see each other soon, just a few days.
Mu Yanzhu leaned on the back seat of the bus and looked away, but her face was filled with tears.
Sorry, Jiang He.
Really sorry…
Time went back half an hour to the Jiang family's study.
She and Jiang Beiyuan were the only two people in the study.
Under the light, she looked at Jiang Beiyuan's slender peach blossom eyes, and finally understood why Jiang San'er's eyes gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
As expected of father and son, Jiang Saner's eyes resemble Jiang Beiyuan, and Jiang Qingchi's mouth resembles Jiang Beiyuan.
His father, Mu Ruqingfeng, was a man of profound elegance, and his two sons were naturally among the best, with almost the same appearance and temperament.
"You have excellent ideas, a talent of the new era."
Faced with Jiang Beiyuan's high praise, Mu Yanzhu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang has always been handsome."
He must have heard these words so many times that Jiang Beiyuan stopped thinking, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face, "However, young people should be down-to-earth and not aim too high."
"I know I have clear goals for the future."
"tell me the story."
"..." Mu Yanzhu planned to go to Licheng after graduation.
"I have received an invitation from Licheng Magazine, so I plan to go there and have a look after graduation. I want to work outside for a few years and then return to Ningcheng after I am stable."
"Can't we develop in Ningcheng?"
"It shouldn't be possible in recent years. Even in Ningcheng, it won't be developed in the wealthy area where Uncle Jiang lives for the time being."
"really."
Jiang Beiyuan pondered for a moment, subconsciously rubbed the ring on his ring finger, and then said softly:
"Before you have capital, you cannot have both career and love. You must give up one."
Mu Yanzhu was stunned.
"Why? I can have a long-distance relationship with Jiang He. Many people have long-distance relationships these days."
"Do you think he'll accept it?"
Jiangbeiyuan smiled.
"It seems that you still don't know him well enough."
After that he said nothing more.
As her thoughts returned, Mu Yanzhu pressed her head against the car window. As the car shook, her head swayed back and forth. Her tears hit the ground and gradually dissipated like a whirlpool.
She has a clear plan for the future, but love is like an unknown train. You never know where it will go to the next stop, where it will end, and whether it is the same person who will accompany you throughout the journey.
…
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Qingchi was leaving for Haikou.
The night before leaving, he had already packed his suitcase.
Jiang San'er and Jiang Chunhe went to the airport to see him off. Before leaving home, Jiang San'er looked at him expressionlessly:
"You don't just need to bring sunglasses, a sun hat and sunscreen when traveling. You also need to bring all the commonly used cold medicine, trauma medicine, insect repellent, finger scissors, umbrellas, and a compass."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingchi scratched his hair and said, "Ah, yes, I forgot about it. I'm going to install it-"
"I've already installed it for you."
"Then you still talk so much nonsense?"
"Remind you not to forget it next time. I can't nag you forever."
“…”
Jiang Qingchi was speechless.
In terms of level of care, he and Jiang San'er were incomparable. Jiang Chunhe was ashamed of himself. Even a girl like her couldn't compare to San'er's attentiveness.
The plane doesn't take off for another hour.
The three of them sat down at a Starbucks next to the airport.
Jiang Qingchi ordered two cups of caramel macchiato and a cup of matcha latte, then pointed to Jiang San'er next to him, "Sister, he pays."
Jiang San'er: "..."
"You don't even take your wallet with you when you go out?"
"The wallet is in the box and can't be taken out."
"Isn't there any money in the phone?"
"No, the money in the card is used to buy gaming equipment for my brother-in-law."
Jiang Saner put his hand on his forehead, he was really a prodigal.
After sitting down, he used his mobile phone to transfer 100,000 yuan to Jiang Qingchi.
"Can you please stop worrying me?"
"What's wrong with me? I don't have money on my mobile phone. I just have a bank card." Jiang Qingchi disagreed.
Jiang Chunhe smiled, "Brother, what San'er means is, when will you become more mature?"
Jiang Qingchi hummed proudly: "When I mature, I will scare you two to death!"
"Okay, I'll wait for the day when you scare me to death."
A tongue-in-cheek remark that later became a prophecy.
…
When they arrived in Haikou, Mu Yanzhu and Jiang Qingchi first went to the Wugong Temple and then to Qiongtai Academy.
Qiongtai Academy is the highest institution of learning in Qiongzhou, and it is also the only way for people from Hainan in ancient times to enter college and become officials.
Jiang Qingchi and Mu Yanzhu signed up for a tour group and followed the tour guide. The next day they went from Haikou to Sanya. The beautiful scenery of sand gulls gathering in the sky transitioned to the same color of water and sky, Wuzhizhou, big and small caves, Yazhou ancient city and other scenic spots. went.
On the fourth day, we finally arrived at the end of the world.
Jiang Qingchi: "Daughter-in-law, the place I have always wanted to come to is the ends of the earth, but this place only makes sense if I come with the one I love."
"Why?"
"You're stupid," Jiang Qingchi smiled and flicked her forehead, "We have traveled to the ends of the earth, are we still afraid of anything else?"
Mu Yanzhu's throat was clogged with hair and she couldn't utter a single word.
"Dear tourists, this is the Tianya Stone, this is the Sun and Moon Stone, this is the South Sky Pillar..." the tour guide was introducing everyone one by one.
Soon, someone raised the question, what is the origin of these two big rocks "Tianya" and "Haijiao".
The tour guide talked about it -
"Legend has it that a man and woman in love came from two feuding families. Their love was opposed by their tribesmen, so they were forced to flee here. They both jumped into the sea and turned into two huge rocks, facing each other forever. Later generations commemorate their perseverance. Because of my love, I carved the words 'Tianya' and 'Haijiao' on the stone to express that my love will always be with me."
Even if you are at the end of the world, I will still love you and never leave you.
Mu Yanzhu's eyes gradually became moist.
Looking at Jiang Qingchi beside him, he saw that the broken hair on his forehead was lifted up by the sea breeze, and his deep brows concealed a moving light.
"We will be together to the end of the world, right?" Mu Yanzhu said, squeezing his hand and intertwining their fingers.
Jiang Qingchi smiled and wiped the warmth from the corners of her eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, your tears are so low."
Mu Yanzhu sniffed, not knowing what was going on, and suddenly faced the sea in the distance and shouted loudly to these two large commemorative stones:
"Jiang, He—I love you! I love you! I love you!"
The sea breeze carried the sound of the tide, and the waves carried her voice.
This was the first time in Mu Yanzhu's life that he expressed his feelings so freely.
Happy, comfortable, and indescribably relieved.
Tonight or later, remember these words: I love you, to the end of the world, I wish you peace.
The client directly picked her up and let her legs hang around his waist.
The sun was shining brightly, Jiang Qingchi raised his head and smiled at her, close to the bridge of her nose, his voice was separated by the wind, the sea, the rough waves in the distance, two sincere hearts, and no regrets.
"Jiang Yan, I love you too! We will be together forever!"
The tourists around were cheering, applauding, and shouting one after another.
Jiang Qingchi slowly raised his head until his lips overlapped.
Time stops, only each other remains.
Mu Yanzhu felt that her scalp was numb and she was going crazy.
It must be crazy today.
She is crazy.
He's also crazy.
Both men went crazy.
I have never been so bold, so presumptuous.
Forget it, that’s it!
She hung on him, closed her eyes, held his neck, and took the initiative to respond.
I can't hear the noise in my ears.
The sound of wind and sea gradually faded away.
Heaven and earth serve as witnesses, and a group of guests act as matchmakers. What else is there to be dissatisfied about
After finally finishing the kiss, Jiang Qingchi let go of Mu Yanzhu, put her on the ground, and rubbed her nose with his tall nose.
Against the sunshine, he smiled very brightly, with a scent that floated on the snowy sea, and was overwhelming. His joy was so pure and transparent that it made Mu Yanzhu's heart ache.
"Jiang He, I love you, love you, love you, love you so much."
"I know, idiot, no need to repeat it so many times!"
"But I really love you so much. I will only love you for the rest of my life. I don't know what else to say."
I can't tell him if I'm moved, and I can't tell him if I'm confused.
I am so afraid of losing you, all because I love you, and I want to cherish you and this relationship. Otherwise, if I really lose you in the future, the pain will be worse than the pain of all the previous partings combined. It will be worse than death, and my heart will be broken.
"Fool, you are so stupid. What will you do if I lose you in the future?"
Jiang Qingchi hugged the person in his arms tightly.
Holding tightly the happiness within reach of him.
…
On the way back, on the bus, a girl sitting in front of Jiang Qingchi and Mu Yanzhu turned around and winked playfully at Mu Yanzhu.
"Is this your husband?"
Forehead…
Mu Yanzhu subconsciously glanced at the boy next to her.
He was watching her with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Mu Yanzhu nodded, "Yes, my husband."
The girl immediately showed an envious expression, "Your husband is so handsome, just like a celebrity. Could it be that he is really a celebrity visiting incognito?"
"No, you are overestimating him. He is just an ordinary person." Mu Yanzhu said lightly.
The girl was speechless: "Then I also want to find an ordinary person like this, I can just go with him."
Before Mu Yanzhu could speak, Jiang Qingchi took the initiative to take over the conversation, "I chased her. It's really not easy to catch her."
The girl smiled awkwardly and finally turned her head back.
Mu Yanzhu secretly pinched Jiang Qingchi's palm and said, "Your ability to put the cart before the horse is getting stronger and stronger."
"That's right. I was the one who brought up the relationship."
As he spoke, he put his arm around her shoulders with a strong smile and pinched her small nose.
"Are you tired? Let's sleep on my shoulder for a while."
Mu Yanzhu nestled in his arms, smelling the fresh scent of Jiang Qingchi's body, like a person about to drown in the water...
After they went out to play once, he doted on her even more than before, probably because they expressed their feelings to each other.
"Daughter-in-law, if I had known that I would like you so much, I would have taken advantage of you and chased you when you were in kindergarten!"
"I'm in kindergarten, were you born?"
"You were born. Didn't you go to kindergarten at the age of four, and you were able to receive education as soon as you were born?"
“…”
Mu Yanzhu smiled and did not refute.
My heart is about to melt and become soft.
I really hope that such a sweet time can last forever, until we grow old and die.
…
Jiang Qingchi and Mu Yanzhu spent five days in Hainan and flew back to school on the sixth day.
After getting off the plane, taking the subway, and turning on his mobile phone, Jiang Qingchi saw the message Jiang San'er sent him.
San'er asked him how he was doing.
Jiang Qingchi replied in three words:
"very good."
San'er: "What did dad and sister-in-law say that day in the study?"
Jiang Qingchi subconsciously looked at Mu Yanzhu beside him and pinched her face, "Daughter-in-law, what did my dad say to you that day in the study?"
Mu Yanzhu: "It's nothing, it's just that the parents are short-lived."
"oh oh."
Jiang San'er also heard this and frowned, "I don't know why, I always feel weird. Maybe it's because you two have been too affectionate recently and I'm not at ease."
"What's wrong? Are you not at ease with my love for you? Are you at ease with me after we break up? As a younger brother, what's your mentality?"
"I did not mean that."
San'er sighed slightly, "It's always better to be low-key. Born in sorrow and died in happiness."
"I know, you guys should quickly find me a sister-in-law, do you hear me? The harem beauties—"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Saner hung up on him.
Jiang Jingming was always polite, but he never gave Jiang Qingchi a chance to talk nonsense about this kind of question.
Jiang Qingchi didn't take it seriously. He leaned over and held Mu Yanzhu's face, squeezing the flesh on both sides of her cheeks toward the middle.
Mu Yanzhu patted his hand, "What are you doing?"
"Hey, let me see if my wife has tanned from traveling."
He smiled and said, "It's still the same white, and it's always beautiful."
"You are beautiful. Your eyes, nose, and mouth are all very beautiful."
"Look into my eyes!"
"...Huh?" Mu Yanzhu was sucked in by those black eyes.
Jiang Qingchi: "You are the only one in my eyes. From now on, you can be confident."
Mu Yanzhu was stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
Before leaving for Hainan a few days ago, she told him: Only the one who is loved has nothing to fear.
She thought he didn't remember that clearly.
Her heart was sour, and she suddenly thought that even if she and him were the only two people left in the world, she would not feel lonely, because the joy this boy brought to her was enough to support her throughout her youth.
For the rest of her life, as long as he is here, she will never ask for anything from anyone else, even if there is a better one, she will not care about it.
This is the meaning Jiang Qingchi brings to her.
Thank him for giving her the favor and making her youth free of regrets.
